<strong>Wildlife</strong> <strong>Safari</strong><br />
Around the World by <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Jet</strong><br />
October 6–29, <strong>2022</strong><br />
®
from the greatest ocean dwellers to the smallest primates, we experienced<br />
a dazzling world of wildlife.
From the noble Bengal tiger to the placid whale shark, from the endangered mountain gorilla to the playful lemur, the<br />
incredible diversity of Earth’s wildlife is arguably the true wonder of the world. I invite you to travel on a new departure<br />
of <strong>Wildlife</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>, a journey by private jet that circles the globe to bring you up-close with the most memorable creatures<br />
with which we share this planet.<br />
Travel in a small group of 48 guests, encountering iconic — and, regrettably, often critically endangered — animals with<br />
the best experts at your side. Meet the little-known species endemic to countries not known for their wildlife, including<br />
Japan’s snow monkey and the tiny Philippine tarsier. And, of course, it would not be a wildlife journey without a return<br />
to East Africa, where A&K began, to seek out the Big Five in the Masai Mara for a spectacular finale.<br />
Fly in style from one destination to the next on a customized jet equipped with fully lie-flat seats, staying in unique and<br />
luxurious accommodations along the way. You can travel in confidence knowing that we have enhanced health and<br />
safety protocols with a full-time physician accompanying you in the air and on the ground. Best of all, enjoy the unique<br />
insider access and authentic cultural encounters that are a hallmark of A&K’s journeys by private jet.<br />
I hope you will join A&K on this thrilling and unforgettable adventure.<br />

in the United States than remain in the wild. Spanning about<br />
250 square miles, the forests of Ranthambore were once<br />

the world to see wild tigers.<br />

Travel insurance is not included in the price of the journey and is strongly<br />
recommended. You may purchase A&K’s Guest Protection Program<br />
for <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Jet</strong> administered by AON (which provides cancellation<br />
coverage, medical coverage and protection against lost or stolen or<br />
damaged luggage). To waive the pre-existing medical condition exclusion<br />
of the policy the insurance premium must be confirmed at the time of<br />
booking and will be based on the initial deposit required. The balance of<br />
the insurance premium must be paid at the time of the second deposit.<br />

BAGGAGE<br />
Each participant is strictly limited to 80 lbs. of checked baggage in<br />
a maximum of two suitcases. Small carry-ons should be limited to<br />
one per person. Baggage, when not handled by Abercrombie & Kent<br />
USA, LLC, and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility<br />
of the participant. Check with your selected airline for other baggage<br />
restrictions applicable to your flights to join and leave the Tour.<br />

The governments of Rwanda and Kenya have implemented a ban<br />
on plastic bags. The ban applies to “carrier and flat bags,” primarily<br />
targeting bags from shops and grocery stores, but also extending<br />
to Ziploc-type bags, duty-free bags and bubble wrap. If a visitor has<br />
these types of bags visible while in the airport, they are likely to be<br />
confiscated. Bags designed for repeated use, such as zippered cosmetic<br />
bags, are not included in the ban.<br />

to the actual value of the baggage but not more than 1,131 special<br />
drawing rights (SDR) per passenger.<br />

The guest agrees the sums referenced in the cancellation provisions<br />
above are not a penalty and represent a reasonable effort on behalf<br />
of A&K to establish its loss prospectively and represent liquidated<br />
damages. These include amongst other costs but not limited to fees<br />
charged by hotels and travel suppliers to A&K for cancelled bookings.<br />
If you cancel and provide a substitute participant for this trip, you will<br />
receive a full refund of money paid toward the charter price less an<br />
administrative charge of $25 within 14 days after the substitute has paid<br />
in full. The costs for visas, commercial air tickets, and pre-tour or<br />
post-tour independent arrangements may not be refundable. If you<br />
paid for the Tour by credit card, you may cancel and receive a full refund<br />
any time until you have signed an Operator Participant Contract. Such<br />
refunds will be made within 14 days of cancellation.<br />
The passenger shall have the right to cancel and receive a full refund<br />
if A&K makes any of the following “major changes” in the Tour prior<br />
to departure:<br />
(a) A change in the departure or return date, unless the change results<br />
from a flight delay required by the Air Carrier that does not exceed fortyeight<br />
(48) hours, and of which A&K received less than two (2) days’ notice.<br />
(b) A change in the origin or destination city, unless the change affects<br />
only the order in which cities are visited.<br />
(c) A substitution of any hotel of lesser quality that is not named in<br />
this contract.<br />
(d) A price increase of more than 10 percent (10%).<br />
Notice of any “major change” described in this paragraph will be given<br />
within seven (7) days of learning of the change, but at least ten (10) days<br />
prior to the scheduled departure date. Provided, however, that if A&K first<br />
learns of a major change within ten (10) days of the scheduled departure<br />
date, it will notify the passenger as soon as possible. Within seven (7)<br />
days after receiving notification of a major change, but in no event later<br />
than departure, you may cancel your reservation and you will receive<br />
a full refund within fourteen (14) days. If a major change occurs after<br />
the departure of the flight which you are unwilling to accept, A&K will<br />
refund, within fourteen (14) days after the return date named in this<br />
agreement, that portion of your payment which applies to any services<br />
not provided.<br />
A&K reserves the right to cancel the Tour at any time for any reason<br />
whatsoever, in its sole and unreviewable discretion. Provided, however,<br />
that A&K shall have no right to cancel the Tour less than ten (10) days<br />
before the scheduled departure except due to circumstances that<br />
make it physically impossible for it to operate the Tour. If a charter is<br />
canceled 10 or more days before the schedule departure, A&K will notify<br />
you in writing within 7 days after the cancellation, but in any event, at<br />
least 10 days before the scheduled departure. If cancellation within 10<br />
days of the departure date is required because it is physically impossible<br />
to operate the Tour, A&K will notify the passenger as soon as possible.<br />
The passenger’s acceptance of any refund offered under this Agreement<br />
shall constitute a waiver of any additional remedies.<br />
A&K and the Air Carrier each assume no responsibility and shall not be<br />
held liable for Acts of God, fire, flood, fog, smog, weather, mechanical<br />
failures, acts of government or other civil or military authorities, wars,<br />

or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of war, civil unrest, insurrection<br />
or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist<br />
activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food<br />
poisoning, mechanical or other failure of aircraft or other means of<br />
transportation or for failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive<br />
or depart on time.<br />
There are many inherent risks in adventure travel of the type involved<br />
here, which can lead to illness, injury, or even death. These risks are<br />
increased by the fact that these trips take place in remote locations, far<br />
from medical facilities. Guest assumes all such risks associated with<br />
participating in these trips.<br />

serious illness, injury or death (“Activities”), then you fully understand<br />
and acknowledge that Activities carry with them various inherent<br />
risks, including serious illness, injury or death and you take complete<br />
responsibility for your own health and safety and agree to assume all risks<br />
of injury, illness or death, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may befall<br />
you as a result of participating in any Activities and agree to release the<br />
A&K Parties from any liability whatsoever related thereto.<br />
Further, as consideration for being permitted to participate in the<br />
Activities; you release the A&K, Parties whether known or unknown,<br />
from, and agree not to sue or make claim against the A&K Parties for,<br />
property damage, cancellation of any Activities for any reason, illness,<br />
negligent rescue operations or procedures, personal injury, or death<br />
arising out of your participation in the Activities, and any activity related<br />
thereto, including transportation to and from the site of the Activities,<br />
regardless of whether such property damage, illness, personal injury, or<br />
death results from the negligence of the A&K Parties and/or from any<br />
defect in equipment. You further agree to indemnify and hold the A&K<br />
Parties harmless with respect to any claim made against the A&K Parties<br />
by anyone else which (a) related to your participation in any trip or any<br />
Activities, or (b) which would be subject to the above release and covenant<br />
not to sue if you had made the claim directly yourself. Upon receipt of<br />
notice of the assertion of a claim, the A&K Parties reserve the right to<br />
approve, or withdraw approval of, counsel, in its sole discretion.<br />
TRAVEL ADVISORIES/WARNINGS<br />
It is the responsibility of the guest to become informed about the most<br />
current travel advisories and warnings by referring to the U.S. State<br />
Department or their respective government agencies. In the event of an<br />
active State Department or government agency Travel Warning against<br />
travel to the specific destination location(s) of the trip, should the guest<br />
still choose to travel, notwithstanding any travel advisory, the guest<br />
assumes all risk of personal injury, death or property damage that may<br />
arise out of the events like those advised or warned against.<br />
